The Holocaust was the systematic murder of Jews and others concidered racially inferior or politacally dangerous by the Nazis. The offical plan of the Nazis called for the extermination of all European Jews. Others persecuted and killed by the Nazis were the Gypsies, the mentally and physically disabled, homosexual, and Jehovah's Witness. During the period between 1930 and 1945, an estimated 11 million people were murdered by the Nazis. Of those 11 million, 6 million were of Jewish decent. This was over 2/3 of the Jewish population in Europe. The term Holocaust comes from the Greek words holo meaning whole and kauston meaning to burn, originally it was a Bible word for "burnt offerings". Scope This pathfinder is intended for high school and college level beginning researchers. It is not meant to be exhaustive but a spring board for more indepth coverage of the topic.
